Through the medium of video or film, the performative dimension of visual and sound recording and the thickness of the image, the living force of drawing as a primordial field of expression is recalled, signaled and embodied for the viewer.
Body, space, time, rhythm, movement; from marking to erasure, from graphic trace to mathematical demonstration, from physical experience to the development of thought in action: let's return to the essential, the original need for gestures that connect us to the world.
